Science tutoring involves not only successful mastery of the subject matter, but the ability to explain complicated processes and concepts in a way that each student will understand. Aureus Prep science tutors have a unique capacity for this, and use an approach that is consistent with what educational research has found about how students learn the nature and process of science. The most effective instruction in the area of science is explicit and reflective, providing multiple opportunities for students to work with key concepts in various contexts so that true learning is obtained. We know just what sort of instruction works best for each student – based on how each learns and on age-appropriate learning goals – and which concepts are most difficult for students to learn. At Aureus Prep, our belief is that simple shifts in how content and activities are approached can make a big difference in overcoming student misconceptions and building the most accurate views of the process of science. This is why students come away from our tutoring sessions with not only a deep understanding of their course material, but with an appreciation of the intricacies of science and an excitement to learn more.
